For those of you keeping score at home, I’ll admit that my posting has gotten a little goofed up this week for a variety of reasons. I will try to restore some equilibrium at some point, but I can’t guarantee anything for now.
Turning to the videos, Farron Cousins informs us that the one issue where the Gropenfuhrer seemed to be polling not too badly was on immigration/deportations, but now it looks like those numbers are taking a nosedive too...I still can’t believe that he was EVER taken seriously on that, but that’s pretty much all over with, along with taking Our Ochre Abomination seriously on pretty much ANY issue (and there’s more here on the contradiction of the Trump-loving base vs. the federal programs they need that Dear Orange Leader and his pals want to utterly destroy)...
...and echoing the prior video somewhat, Kyle Kulinski tells us about torture reported at ICE facilities, with migrants shackled behind their backs and made to kneel down and eat “like dogs,” among myriad other abuses, such as forcing detainees onto a bus where they had to share a toilet that backed up and caused the bus to smell “like feces,” and making men and women share a toilet in view of each other...utterly monstrous evil typical of regimes this country used to fight against...and I definitely share Kyle’s observations on immigrants overall (NSFW/H)...
...and Brittany Page brings us the news of a lawsuit from some idiot in Texas who sued an abortion provider in California who sent medication abortion pills to his girlfriend who the Texas guy impregnated – the Texas guy is suing on behalf all current and future fathers of unborn children, and how much do you want to bet that the SCOTUS of Hangin’ Judge JR will find a way to take up this case in 3,2,1 (yet another typically devious way to enshrine “fetal personhood”)...of course, this Texas numbskull could try to garner support for more health care funding for pregnant women as well as more early childhood and pre-K funding as well as enhancing SNAP benefits and ensuring that Medicaid remains viable for poor families, but naaah...let’s set money on fire over nonsense like this instead...and this isn’t the main issue, but I think it needs to be pointed out; when Dems had congressional majorities (and a Dem president), they should have found a way to abolish the utterly wretched Comstock Act (and I’d heard of Jonathan Mitchell before, but I’ll admit that I didn’t know just how bad he truly was...typically low for a scumwaffle like Mitchell to encourage men to dime out their wives/girlfriends who’ve had abortions, all in pursuit of some kind of nationwide abortion ban...and a link to the National Network of Abortion Funds is here)...
...well, partly to keep my sanity and also party because there are plenty of people we’re ideologically opposed to who deserve humorous ridicule, I’ll include this clip of Jordan Klepper of The Daily Show telling us about Scott Jennings, who will likely be the Repug running to succeed that death eater in Kentucky Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao...yep, stoo-pidly combative and obnoxiously proud of his utter wrongness all right – looks like exactly the type who many of those troglodytes in that locality will want to reward with a six-year team in high office (love to be wrong)...
...and let’s take a trip across the country to Oklahoma, where the self-righteous wingnut hypocrisy is “as high as an elephant’s eye,” you might say; Mr. Newberger gives Ryan Walters the treatment he deserves over this...
...and that’s probably an apropos lead-in to this number from Tom Lehrer.
